Robert Cecil Hudson (30 January 1920 – 3 June 2010) was a British broadcaster and administrator for the BBC, primarily on radio but also on television, between 1947 and 1981.
His obituary in The Times described him as "a man of transparent integrity whose reserved manner and innate modesty meant that he became less of a celebrity than his great ability would otherwise have guaranteed".
He broadcast from 32 countries, covering six royal tours by Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh between 1961 and 1967, four state visits and four independence ceremonies.
Appointments which he made included Peter Baxter as producer of TMS and Christopher Martin-Jenkins as the BBC's cricket correspondent.
He also persuaded Brian Johnston to join the TMS team on a regular basis in 1970 after he had been dropped from TV's Test match coverage.
